2025 Atlanta Braves Player Review: Charlie Morton
"The Braves visited the Detroit Tigers for their final road series of the year, with Atlanta's season moribund and Detroit desperately trying to hang on to a playoff spot. The first game of the series was a Friday night game and Atlanta absolutely rocked Detroit's starting pitcher - whom they acquired in a Trade Deadline deal. That set off a chain of events that led to one of the emotional high points of Atlanta's 2025 campaign,"
"Heading into the 2025 season, Morton signed a free agent deal with the Baltimore Orioles to fill a spot in their starting rotation for a team that looked to be a contender in the American League. Staving off retirement for at least one more season, Morton's departure brought an end to a four-year return engagement with Atlanta for the former third round pick of the 2002 draft by the Braves."
Charlie Morton became the 71st player to appear for the Atlanta Braves in 2025, returning to the organization for a third and likely final stint. The Braves played a late-season series in Detroit, where Atlanta crushed the Tigers' Trade Deadline acquisition and triggered events leading to Morton's designation for assignment after a rough outing. The Tigers released Morton two days later and he rejoined Atlanta the following day. Morton debuted with the Braves in 2008, returned in 2021, and had signed with the Baltimore Orioles for 2025. Morton and Baltimore both struggled early, and Baltimore suffered an unexpected seasonal collapse. The reunion and sendoff provided an emotional highlight amid a disappointing season.
